Do I need to cover the pot once I’ve placed Joule in it? What if my lid won’t fit on top with Joule inside?

You do not need to put a lid on your pot to cook with Joule. In fact, for regular cooking, we recommend you leave the lid off. However, if you are doing a long cook, water will evaporate over time, so for best results, we do advise covering the pot around Joule with foil or plastic wrap. Do not fully cover Joule during cooking so please leave the top of Joule exposed from the bottom of the cord up. Fully covering Joule may cause it to overheat and stop your cook. You may also lose your Bluetooth or WiFi connection if you cover Joule completely with a metal lid.
